Hooky has gone country?

Does coutry music influenced Hooky with Revenge?

When I heard "Televive, Amsterdam and It's quiet" has a country music feel to it. Just wondering.

I jolly well hope not - Country and Opera are the only two forms of music I despise!

it depends on the type of country, really. if it sounds more like hank williams or willie nelson or johnny cash there's nothing wrong with that, because they're fine musicians.

it's people like toby keith and garth brooks that really get on my tits. they've corrupted a truly unique and fascinating american tradition.

jeff buckley got the message perfectly.

Hooky's proved, with revenge, that he can do the odd soothing song as well as the stormers, I can't detect any cuntry and western influence though.

Thank God!

Ryan Adams, country music's finest

there are many different kinds of country and western, though. in fact, country is different from western. you have cowboy ballads, bluegrass, all sorts of subgenres. appalachian country is different from the western that came out of places like colorado, where i'm from (yes, i grew up going to rodeos). and there's some damn good country out there. just not what you hear nowadays...most of the time.

and don't forget where one of country's greats, waylon jennings, got his start: he was in the crickets--buddy holly's band. a little side story: in 1959 he gave his seat on the american pie to the big bopper so the three headliners could get to their destination faster, and because the big bopper had a bad head cold. buddy holly joked that he hoped the bus stalled and left them in the snow. jennings replied in jest that he hoped the plane crashed.

so if hooky is influenced by variations of american country/folk music, all power to him, i say.
